This is the second official book trailer for the YA novel, "The Island of Lote." Milo Hestler's summer plans go drastically awry when her plane crashes onto a tropical island. She is rescued by a local boy, who can't speak English or stop staring at her. By accident, she says yes when he asks her to marry him. When Milo learns this, she is horrified. Not only is she way too young, but she doesn't know or love this boy, whose name is Simon, and she feels like he tricked her. However, the islanders refuse to let her call it all off. This particular island is governed by certain laws, and even though she's new and couldn't possible have known that, she must also abide by them. Even if they have to force her. Scared and furious, Milo immediately hates Simon for putting her in this predicament, and determines to make him as miserable as she is.
********************
Milo Hestler is a lonely, unusual, fourteen-year-old girl. She is constantly moving from home to home with her oblivious parents. The only friend she has is her conscience, whom she has named Bob. Her only comforts are cooking and listening to hip-hop.
When her family moves yet again, Milo is bullied mercilessly by her classmates. Such treatment prompts her to travel to Australia for summer camp. During the plane ride, Milo awakens to find the plane deserted and about to crash.
After parachuting into the ocean, she discovers she is near an island. Milo passes out, and upon waking, learns she was rescued by a boy named Simon, who is cute, but can't speak English. Not able to understand him, she accidentally says yes when he asks her to marry him.
He leads her to a small town on the island, where they locate someone who can translate for them. Milo is outraged to hear that she is engaged to Simon and wants to call it off, but learns that this island has rules that cannot be broken. She must go through with the marriage against her will.
After learning about the trick he played on her, Milo hates Simon, though it is obvious that sixteen-year-old Simon really likes her. What will happen next on The Island of Lote? From her earliest memories, Emily Kinney has wanted to be a writer. She lives in Maine. "This book is just the first of many to come, rest assured." Publisher's website: sbpra.com/EmilyKinney.
This read makes for a great novel for young adults that enjoy adventure, romance, and drama. The book follows a young lady who lands in an unfamiliar place due to a plane crash. She meets and absolutely adores the first boy she meets on the island she's temporarily trapped on, only to find out he's tricked her (well, kind of...you'll have to read it to see what I mean) and is forced to proceed with things no 14 year old should ever have to encounter so young.
